Sometimes soft and melancholy, sometimes not..
I'm a a singer/songwriter originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I've tinkered with many instruments but pretty much stick to piano and guitar. I've been a member here at Soundclick for about 20 years now, I have met some incredible people from all over the world. I have collaborated with a lot of different musicians in my time here, but most notably I have been working quite closely with Juri Rosenfeld aka Grand Jury. Juri is an utterly amazing composer, musician, arranger, producer from Finland. And I am thrilled to be working with him. Very often the lyricist for these songs is Dawn Sinclair an extremely talented and prolific writer from England. From time to time I have worked with other artists as well, most of whom I have met here on Soundclick. Another SC member, Tom Moore and I have worked closely together on many projects as well, including a 17 song Christmas CD. I absolutely love musical collaboration but have recently been trying to focus on completing some more of my own original compositions. Also check out the band Fractured Beauty, here on Soundclick another collaboration project featuring the talents of Bob Kingdon and others with a psychedelic vibe.

Story behind the song
a song about loving the quiet solitude and the beauty of night, both figuratively and literally; Sometimes beauty is best found in the darkness...
Lyrics
you always said you'd rather walk behind me so you could keep me from the night So I'd reach up high and wrap the stars around me still keeping safe within your sight Long ago there was a girl meek and unrefined and so... heart of gold in a broken frame dragged into the depths below and as she slipped and stole away into the garden of the low you could hear the whispers say I am smiling as I go you always said you'd rather walk behind me so you could keep me from the night So I'd reach up high and wrap the stars around me still keeping safe within your sight so litle girls, they fall alseep and dream of happier realities where your heart is safe on your sleeve and you can't make a mess baby, but when you wake and see the sun sometimes consciousness cuts like a blade and you wish you'd just never wake You always said you'd rather walk behind me so you could keep me from the night but now that I know my soul it comes alive when the safety falls beyond your sight You always said I shouldn`t walk alone but sometimes that`s where I need to be and I, I`m alive when nightfall holds me tightly and that`s just how it has to be
